With current technology, suppose a firm is producing 400 loaves of banana bread dally. Also assume that the least-cost combination of resources for producing those loaves is 10 units of labor, 7 units of land, 2 units of capital, and 1 unit of entrepreneurial ability, selling at prices of $20, $60, $60, and $20, respectively. Assume the firm can sell these 400 loaves at $2 per unit. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. What is the firm's total revenue? What is its total cost? Calculete the amount of economic profit or loss. will k continue to produce banana bread? ICliex to selec if this firm's situation is typical for the other makers of banana bread, will resources flow toward or away from this bakery good?

Suppose you have t = 5 hours in total to spend on some projects to make some money. The table below shows how many dollars you can make (Total Revenue) in each of the three projects I, II, III if you spend the corresponding number of hours on that project: How would you allocate your time across the projects?What is the maximum total money you could make?
You manage two chocolate factories. Using only these two factories, you must produce exactly 420 kgs of chocolate daily at lowest possible cost. Mathematically, you have: Q1 = Quantity produced at Chocolate Factory #1 Q2 = Quantity produced at Chocolate Factory #2 Daily total overall production: Q1 – Q2 = 420 At present, each factory produces half the overall requirement. This means that Q1 = 210, Q2 = 210 a) Following your logic , you realize that as long as the marginal cost is different between the two factories, you can lower overall cost while maintaining production at 420 kgs. So, to reduce the overall cost to the lowest possible, you decide to move more than 1 kilogram from one factory to another. As a result, each factory will produce a different quantity of chocolate while the overall daily production remains at 420 kgs. To minimize overall cost, how many kilograms will you order/instruct Factory #1 to produce? Q1 = ____________kgs And how many kilograms would you…

You own a company that produces widgets. You currently produce 100 widgets; each widget sells for $100 and costs $80 to produce. You are considering increasing your company's production by one unit, upping the total to 101 widgets. At this level of production, total revenue will increase to $10,100, and total costs will increase to $8,120. Based on the given information, and considering you are a good entrepreneur and economist who wants to maximize profit, you should... A. Sell less than 100 units B. Not produce unit 101 C. Produce unit 101 D. Produce 150 units

1. Inputs K, L, R and M cost £10, £6, £15 and £3 respectively per unit. What is the cheapest way of producing an output of 900 units if a firm operates with the production function Q = 20K0.4L0.3R0.2M0.25? 2. Make up your own constrained optimization problem for an objective function with three variables and solve it. 3. A firm faces the production function Q = 50K0.5L0.2R0.25 and is required to produce an output level of 1,913 units. What is the cheapest way of doing this if the per-unit costs of inputs K, L and R are £80, £24 and £45 respectively?
4. Smarty’s Dish company manufactures household and commercial satellite dishes according to the production function. C(Q1, Q2) = 100 + 5Q1 + 2Q2 + .5Q1Q2 Where Q1 and Q2 are household and commercial satellite dishes produced in a day, respectively. Suppose Smarty produces 10 household dishes and 8 commercial dishes per day. Should he divide production into separate facilities? Why? a. No. The firm enjoys cost complementarities b. Yes, because the firm does not realize cost complementarities c. No, because even though the firm does not enjoy cost complementarities, it does realize economies of scope at this level of output. d. Yes, because the firm does not enjoy cost complementarities, and it does not realize economies of scope at this level of output.
A new production technology for making vitamins is invented by a college professor who decides not to patent it. Thus, it is available for anybody to copy and use. The TC per bottle for production up to 100,000 bottles per day is given in the following table. Output 25,000 50,000 75,000 100,000 TC $85,000.00 105,000.00 110,000.00 115,000.00 ATC Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. In parts cand d enter your answers as a whole number. a. What is ATC for each level of output listed in the table? Enter your answers in the table above. b. Suppose that for each 25,000-bottle-per-day Increase in production above 100,000 bottles per day, TC increases by $5,000 (so that, for instance, 125,000 bottles per day would generate total costs of $120,000 and 150,000 bottles per day would generate total costs of $125,000). Are there economies of scale at all levels of output? (Click to select) c. Suppose that the price of a bottle of vitamins is $2.03. At that price, the…
How many units of labor and capital should be purchased to maximize production? What is the maximum number of units of production?
A person has the choice of running hot snack stall or an ice cream and cool drink shop at a certain holiday resort during the coming summer season. If the weather during the season is cool and rainy he can expect to make a profit of dollar 15,000 and if it is warm he can expect to make a profit of only dollar 3,000 by running a hot snack stall. On the other hand, if his choice is to run an ice cream and cool drink shop, he can expect to make a profit of dollar 18,000 if the weather is warm and only dollar 3,000 if the weather is cool and rainy. The meteorological authorities predict that there is 40% chance of the weather being warm during the coming season. You are to advise him as to the choice between the two types of stalls. Base clearly your argument on the expectation of the result of the two courses of action and show the result in a tabular form?
Suppose you own a small business. Last month, your total revenue was $8,800. In addition, you paid $3,500 in monthly rent for office space, $300 in monthly rent for equipment, $2,500 to your workers in wages for the month, and $1,900 for the supplies you used that month. If you correctly determine that your economic profit last month was $200, then it must be true that your implicit costs are $3,600 per month. your implicit costs are $600 per month. your implicit costs are $400 per month. your implicit costs are $1,800 per month.
